News about Michael Wilbon

With ESPN analyst Michael Wilbon, Ja Morant's second gun-waving attack in less than two months has taken another turn. Morant, 23, appeared in an Instagram video with a friend over the weekend waving a pistol in his hand, two months after he caught himself doing the same thing in a Denver strip joint. Morant was suspended for eight games after that incident and attended acounselling course, later revealing that his behavior had been a hindrance to his Memphis Grizzlies team in the NBA.

LeBron James had hoped for a reunion with fellow Cleveland Cavaliers champion Kyrie Irving, but that wasn't happening. Irving requested a trade away from the Brooklyn Nets last week and obtained his wish on Sunday, with the Nets trading the point guard to the Dallas Mavericks in exchange for Spencer Dinwiddie, Dorian Finney-Smith, and picks. After the trade was revealed, LeBron spoke with ESPN's Michael Wilbon, who expressed his dissatisfaction with the inability to get a deal done.
